For a friend I am testing Hika shop starter.
When I try to put an order in and checkout I don't receive any mail, not as seller and not as customer.

A testmail from Joomla configuration itself works fine, as well as a test with another webshop.
I have tried all different encoding formats.

I must be doing something wrong, but what?

Hi,

Then the problem must come from the settings you have under the "Emails" section of the HikaShop configuration.
HikaShop sends the emails by default in HTML, but the test email of Joomla is a simple text email and there is a lot less issues with them. So you could try deactivate the HTML settings there and see if that helps.
Also, sometimes the bounce email address configured there is wrong. Try leaving it empty, or better, ask your hosting company what it should be.
Some other email servers are quite picky with the charset encoding of the emails and thus you might need to change that setting too.
The best is to check with the hosting.

First, check the menu Customers>Emails history. There, you'll see the emails that HikaShop sent to your email server.
If you see the email there but not in your inbox, then the problem is not a HikaShop problem. It's either the email settings or the email server, or it went in the spam folder.

I have found the cause of this problem. I received an email from Gmail that "some stranger knew my password and logged in" and blocked. This turned out to be the IP adress from the server. After I set this to save/yes this is me the problem was solved.

Thank you for your reaction.
